Chapter 282: First Day Back (1) (1/2)
Alucard slowly nodded at his possible new young overlord with calm eyes.
”Yes of course. You can ask me anything.”
And without hesitation, Moby asked his first question.
”First, I would like to ask how exactly was Abby mind-controlled and how did she snap out of it? Scientists have tried to analyze her all they could but they couldn't find anything,”
”Yes, I can answer that…”
Alucard slowly nodded back before continuing.
”They were small, nearly invisible nanobots from these shalkers affecting her brain. I am not very familiar with this technology thing, but I think you humans did not have the proper means to analyze it. And, she broke out of it when her brain very well fried… Seeing Alex die right in front of her released so much stress and turmoil onto her brain causing more activity than ever before until both her brain shut down alongside all of the nanobots that turned to cinders…”
”I see…”
Moby expected something like that did happen but it was good to have some closure and definitive answers. However, now came the question he really wanted to ask...
”You said that parts of Alex's memories flowed into your mind right?”
”Yes, indeed they have.”
”So… Can you tell me how he felt like when he died…”
The air stood still for a few seconds like time had stopped before Alucard replied.
”He was at peace… He had no regrets… What he said in that letter of yours is all true…”
”I see…”
A smile appeared on Moby's face before asking his final few questions.
”Is that item your master gave you still with you?”
”No, it disappeared when I came here from purgatory,”
”Are you currently at your original strength?”
”No, my power has greatly plummeted most likely due to the soul transfer. So currently, I am only slightly stronger than you are young lord. I promise to work on restoring my full power so fear not!”
”Will you be able to fight by my side?”
”No… Sadly not right now with how my current master is like… I am not allowed to leave her side. But, if you want to kill her then bind my undead spirit to something then that would work, but I doubt you would want that…”
”Indeed,” He nodded back, getting slight flashbacks from when Avilia suggested he should put her down.
Then, Avilia's voice suddenly came in and interjected.
”That is enough questions for now… We found out all that we wanted. My spell is about to run out any second now. Thank you, Alucard for all of the insight, and I'm very pleased to see a familiar soul working under me once more, it truly soothes my heart,”
”No! It is my honour to have the opportunity to serve you again! I am certain any nether realm inhibitor would do anything to be in the position I am in right now,”
That was when a flash of blinding light engulfed all of them and they were thrust back into reality, back on the grass.
Moby took a deep breath, standing up and wiping the dirt off his clothes, looking down only to see Alucard kneeling on the muddy ground.
”I see that you are leaving now young lord! Please! If you ever need me, don't be afraid to come and call! I would be more than happy to do anything for you!”
With great pride in his voice, he turned into a red smoke and disappeared into thin air, going towards Abby who was still sleeping.
Without saying a word, Moby smiled and left the garden, taking a quick glance at Abby's peacefully smiling figure, promising to come again the next day as he left the room.
The rest of the day went by as he expected, doing nothing but training as getting power was more important to him than ever before— both with Avilia and with Mason.
He leapt onto his bed once more, staring at his ceiling like usual. Yet, this time he did not want to go to sleep. Instead, he meditated trying to enter another trial to level up his void ability. Yet, no matter how many times he tried to do it, he never seem to be able to…
Instead, he decided to train in the way he was taught at the Griffith mansion. Moby might have forgotten the chant that Mason said but Avilia of course did not and replayed it back to Moby who now memorized it.
